Hi, Am I right that the main difference between the TMATE and the SHUTTLEPRO is that the TMATE always controls the radio even if the window is not selected, and the Shuttlepro only works in the selected window ? 73 Jan ON6ZG. Hi, for all those interested in Tmate: We expect to begin

A legacy radio like a K3 or Orion uses a signal chain that is mostly in hardware. The signal goes [ant-bandpass filter-preamp-mixer-if amp-roofing filter-mixer-more filters-more amplifiers-demodulator-DSP stage-audio amp] Some of these stages may be rearranged or left out but its basically

I really don't think that a traditional roofing filter would help out the FLEX 5000's, but what might be an interesting idea would be a very tight RF Preselector like we use to use in the fixed military HF sites around the world. The preselector is basically a very tight HF Filter at the

Interesting. A FlexWire aware preselector that would follow the frequency would be a really cool gadget that could be used on any FlexWire equipped SDR. Add a small circuit to switch it out of the RF signal path during TX and you would not necessarily have to use it on the RX loop. -Tim

Two Questions: 1) Wouldn't the panadapter would look pretty quiet outside the preselector bandpass? 2) Isn't this re-engineering a 5000 to work like a conventional radio? Wiser to invest the effort on better software than more of the components we are trying to get away from? Cheers, Frank

So, to prove that I am a better devil's advocate than I am technically competent: How (functionally) is the preselector different than a roofing filter? I understand that they work differently, but in the end wouldn't either accomplish the same thing? Frank N1UW This is the first time I

A roofing filter is tuned to a particular frequency of the IF stage it is employed at. A preselector is a variable frequency and Q filter at the antenna input. A filter is a filter is a filter. :-) -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz
